Uganda Prison Court

In this edition of our newsletter, we continue our unwavering commitment to justice, transparency, and the defense of fundamental rights. The rule of law must be upheld in every sphere of society, and as legal advocates, we must ensure that justice is not only served but seen to be served. This issue highlights critical legal developments, including the recent court-martial case in Uganda, the principles surrounding contempt of court, and the troubling case of Dawit Isaak, a journalist imprisoned without trial for over two decades. These stories remind us of the power of legal advocacy and the pressing need to challenge injustices wherever they arise. At FOI Counsel, we remain dedicated to promoting access to justice and ensuring that the law serves as a shield for the vulnerable, not a weapon against them. We encourage discourse, legal literacy, and active engagement in the pursuit of justice. As always, we appreciate our readers’ continued support and engagement. Together, we can foster a legal system that is transparent, accountable, and just for all.
